Brief Answer:
not unusual

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
What you have described is a fairly common complaint and some degree of curvature is very common among all men and is called chordee. If there has been some recent inciting trauma or pain associated with the curvature or if you feel some hard plaque like lesion beneath the thin skin of penis, you should be concerned and get medical attention. Also if the curvature is getting worse and us preventing you from having normal sexual intercourse, please ensure you are seen by a Urologist.
Otherwise, you can periodically reassess as the condition is usually benign and does not progress beyond a particular degree.
Hope I have been of help.
